... " One might as well assume the world is flat. Thus, I do NOT ignore the Intermediate Early Bronze-Middle Bronze period, as Cardona claims. The Jericho site rebuilt by Hiel the Bethelite in the days of Ahab (I Kings 16:34), therefore was NOT "the city resettled by the Jews on their return from the Babylonian exile" (Cardona), but the Late Bronze city. Cardona's claim that "Hiel's city . . . has (emphasis on "has" added by Cardona) to be identified with Iron Age Jericho" is utterly bizarre. For the authoritative EAEHL notes (Vol. II, p.564) that "no trace of ...
412. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... number of hours in 50-100 years - a period measured in thousands rather than millions of years. History of Astronomy, a Jaundiced View source: New Scientist 19.8 .82, pp. 478-81 Under the title: "The skies of Babylon" Richard Stephenson, a research fellow at the University of Liverpool, tells how records of Babylonian astronomers are now proving useful to modern astronomers in calculating changes in the length of the day. He tells that the ancients were good and careful astronomers, that "ancient astronomers recorded what has actually happened in the sky, .. .. " and that despite the paucity of texts during the period 700-50 BC ". .. ...
... is selfcorroborative. Let the reader again peruse the plain unvarnished narrative as recorded in Genesis. We are indebted to Berosus, who is supposed to have been a Chaldean priest, for the most valuable traditional account of the flood. He lived some time in the third century B. C., and seems to have had access to the Babylonian records. Some of these, including the flood legend, he translated into the Greek language. This latter I give as translated from the Greek historian, and is as follows : " After the death of Ardates, his son Xisuthrus (Noah) reigned 18 sari. In his time happened a great deluge, the history of which ...
414. Velikovsky and his Heroes [Articles]
... has shown, and other writers in the august pages of our own SIS REVIEW, this effort of Velikovsky's is quite impossible. The Hittite-Neobabylonian records are very clearly factually different, and refer to different rulers, indeed they refer to different epochs entirely. If Velikovsky sought to make his Hittite-Babylonian equation stick, his motive for trying subconsciously to distort Babylonian history is clear. A fit had to be forced. Now I would speculate- speculate would have to be the word since no papers concerning the development of the Ages in Chaos series have yet been made available by the executors of the estate- that possibly the Nebuchadnezzar-Hattusilis equation came first to Velikovsky in the years 1940 and 1941, ...
415. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]
... that, to the Egyptians, the star Sept, which is usually translated as Sirius, was identified with the goddess Isis. (140) But Isis, as Pliny informed us, was the planet Venus. (141) Nor is Sirius the only star with which planetary deities became confused. As Donald Mackenzie, who recognized that the Babylonians identified the supreme deity with the Pole Star, noted, Regulus, Arcturus, and Orion have also been named as alter-egos of the Assyrian god Ashur, (142) who, because of his assimilation to Shamash, (143) not to mention his well known emblems of ring and rod, can be seen as a prototype of ...
416. Sky Woman [Journals] [Aeon]
... ritual as having suffered immolation. Although the nature of the rite in question remains obscure, it appears to have involved a rejuvenation of the god. Thus, early commentators remarked of the celebration that the god "having lost his old age in fire obtains in exchange his youth." [50] That Melqart was specifically identified with the Babylonian god Nergal supports the hypothesis that the immolated god personified the planet Mars. Arab authors, in fact, speak of the god's Tyrian sanctuary as being specially consecrated to the red planet. [51] It is Melqart's identification with the Greek hero Herakles- abundantly attested in the ancient sour-ces- which seals the case. For Herakles himself ...
417. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... enormously extended by the interposition of hiati'. Investigation, however, showed that there were no physical hiati; they had been inferred from the known' chronology! A significantly lacking stratum at sites such as these is that of the Persians who historically came immediately before the Hellenist culture. In the relevant stratigraphical position instead are found the Old Babylonians in the south and the Middle Assyrians in the north. Heinsohn therefore equated these with Persian satrapies and the Old Akkadians-Hyksos would then fall into place as the pre-Median Assyrians mentioned by Herodotus. Gunnar wound up his talk with an overview of the absolute dates attributed to civilisations around the world and showed how they all went through the same sequences ...
418. The Death of Heracles [Journals] [Aeon]
... the City", Albright was led to suggest that Melqart too was a god of the Underworld. (37) Other scholars, however, maintain that Melqart's name signifies merely "King of Tyre." (38) In the astronomical system of ancient Babylon, Nergal was identified with the planet Mars. This identification extends back to Old Babylonian times and is apparent throughout the vast period encompassed by the god's worship. (39) That the same planetary identification was widely attested for Heracles in Hellenistic times suggests its relevance for our study. (40) The same planet, moreover, appears to have been associated with Melqart, Arab authors speaking of the sanctuary at Tyre as ...

420. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of Venus extend back five hundred years before the Exodus, thus refuting the absurd theory of a comet that turned into a planet. ' Velikovsky, however, had specified no date for the eruption of Venus from Jupiter, except that it had occurred some time before the Exodus. And, as Velikovsky pointed out in his book, the Babylonian tablets (Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga) cited by Gaposchkin to support her claim ascribe such erratic motions to Venus that translators and commentators have been baffled by them ever since they were discovered in the ruins of Nineveh in the last century; he also pointed out that even if the apparitions and periods of Venus recorded on the tablets date from ...
